scorpio p. - black magic lyrics
intro (jesse williams, 2016 bet awards):
“just because we’re magic doesn’t mean we’re not real…”
hook (2x):
yeah, you know we got that
we got that, we got that black magic
we got that, we got that, we got that black magic
we got that, we got that, we got that black magic
we got that, we got that, we got that black magic
verse 1 (scorpio p.):
we are, yeah i said it, we are
pure magic in the flesh, s-t-a-rs
in the night sky, yeah, all black everything
looks so good, right? all black everything?
cut from a different cloth, thicker than your average
tailored and hemmed up, fitter than your average
heart of a lion, royal rite of p-ssage
madd hair, don’t care, manes on drastic
blastin’ the boundaries of imagination
we dream in a darker pigmentation
age so gracefully, do our women and men
black don’t crack, -whoo-, god bless that melanin
fashionable year round, shinin’ every season
marvels to behold, yeah, cue the heavy breathin’
here for a reason
we all created in god’s image
but, with us, he did a little more with it…
(hook) (2x)
verse 2 (ursa major):
this that black boy joy
this that ‘rise up out the ashes’ just to ‘find your voice’
this that, “you belong here, you matter to me…”
that “you can hang with us,” not just hang from the trees
see our roots runnin’ deep, you know the berries is sweet
they try to paint the surface, just to hide underneath
i had dreams we was free, but you know how i do
if i dream it, i’m the type to make sure it comes true
if you dreamin’ come thru, watch us all hold you down
let the griot tell ya story till we all holdin’ crowns
how could we fail? i mean, like how could we stop?
if we know that we targets, can we at least get a shot?
urban youth… tell the truth, nothing’s expected
so when we do make it out, we some urban legends
see i shed no tears
i shed light — one time let me say so it’s clear…
(hook) (2x)
verse 3 (scorpio p.):
it don’t matter if you light, or you dark skinned
the way we preface our preference is the problem
every nationality, yeah, we are in
so, why are we at odds so very often?
these knives called tongues that we sharpen
on each other’s shortcomings, so appalling
try to outshine each other, so daunting
while we all remain targets for the marksmen
i pray for the day we resolve, and
unify, come together and evolve, and
that: trayvon, mike, sandra, eric, alton, terrence, philando, and korryn
those names be not in vain at all, man
and i hope they got crowns in their coffins
cuz, all of them, we’re created in god’s image
and with them, he did a little more with it…
(hook) (2x)
outro (jesse williams, 2016 bet awards):
“…that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot
stand if we do…the more we learn about who we are and how we got
here, the more we will mobilize…if you have no interest in equal rights for
black people, then do not make suggestions to those who do…there has
been no war that we have not fought and died on the front lines of…just
because we’re magic doesn’t mean we’re not real…”
(hook) (2x)
